As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user…

I’m going to structure this as a Q&A with myself now, based on comments online

What is that? “I’m going to pretend to ask questions that I’ll then answer myself the way I think it’ll outrage that most people do I’ll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article”? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.

I know this is the arch community, so this might not apply, but KDE’s Dolphin file manager has audio CD ripping integrated, with different folders being shown for different formats when you open an audio CD (like, “audio CD” has subfolders called “mp3” or “flac”), so you can just copy those files somewhere and it rips and encodes them in the background.

Oh god, I totally forgot about that one. I loved it. The content still seems to be great, too. Nice.

Hot take: you need to collect property taxes plus some reasonable amount of money to be able to afford repairs. Houses break. Five digits worth of repairs are common nowadays.

Yes, there are dicks who are landlords (especially corporations) but letting people rent your stuff for a reasonable amount of money is not ethically questionable. The fact that housing shouldn’t be something you speculate with to generate income doesn’t mean you can’t let people use your things.

If the alternative is Windows which is increasingly filled with ads or Linux which shifts the burden of computer administration to a user who might not have a clue about what they’re supposed to do if their WiFi doesn’t “just work”, paying for a managed walled garden that doesn’t try to install candy crush without you asking for it isn’t such a bad option.

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

You bet they could place shortcut icons to websites on a grid of icons? Pretty bold statement there.

Good thing is that them being upset doesn’t stop you from moving out if it’s better for you.

opportunity

You keep using that word.

Threema?

Dude, calm down. It’s just a discussion. Just give us an example of how I could see somebody’s eyes in a mirror without them seeing my eyes and we’ll all be amazed at how you were right all along.

Definitely not.

What? Could you give an example?

Yeah, I’m writing this on an s10e but the battery really isn’t that good anymore and the lack of security updates doesn’t feel good either. The current s series phones are roughly the same size as the e though, so I hope it’ll be okay.

That said, even the e is a bit too large for my taste. The top left corner is pretty much out of reach without adjusting your grip, so about half an inch less of screen would be preferable imho. Samsung’s one handed mode is much better than the android default though, which kind of makes up for it - and there’s just nothing smaller available.

This. I just ordered an S23, just because it’s pretty much the smallest phone you can get (apart from the zenfone, which has a worse update policy).

Wait… You’re not using Linux at work???

Didn’t know that one, will check it out! Thank you!

Ha, good one… Watched that already though. Also doesn’t really match this universal optimism. Over the garden wall was great but is to hilda what American McGee’s Alice is to Disney’s Alice, kind of. That world is morbid. Thanks for the recommendation though!

Obvious choice: Primer

There’s also a decent tng episode that has this exact premise.

It seems this is an entire genre though, so Wikipedia does have a list of time loop movies. Maybe check if any of those short descriptions seem to fit your tastes?

Hmmmm… Adventurous third person action game with a sense of mystery and strong scripting? Is that it?

Horizon: zero dawn or forbidden west? That’s more on the open world side of things though.

What about God of war or maybe shadow of the colossus?

A little shorter and not so much on the adventure side but very mysterious and very intense: hellblade - senua’s sacrifice. That’s quite dark though, missing some of those feelgood indy vibes.
